Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Isn't it amazing, that before God ever created the heavens and the earth, he chose us in Christ. God planned our redemption before he ever created Adam.
Why?
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
From eternity past, to eternity future we have been and are a part of God's magnificent plan. We have an eternal purpose which is to glorify Him.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
And to walk in the good works that God has fore ordained for us.
This weekend I get to walk in one of those works. Our church body is reaching out to establish a presence, a new campus in a run down area of our community. To provide the ministry of good works and to bring the gospel of redemption to our own community. These works don't save us, but they do show forth our salvation.
